"Mins Henrietta Jefferson left last Mon day evening to spend the holidays in Chattanooga. Messrs. Will and Walter Woolbright spent Sunday in our burg. They have many friends here who are always glad to see them. Capt. Maddox and family spent Sun day at Mr. Jno. 11. McCay’s. Our people unite with their condolence on the death of Uncle Em.sly Stegall. He had ,many warm friednds in our midst as well as in the entire community in which lie lived for more than fifty years. Mr. Mitchell Hollinshead, of Acworth, visited his brother, P. V. Hollinshead, last week. Two of Cartersville’s first, young gen tlemen attended a party at Mr. H. B. Biles’last Thursday night. If they did lose their way m going they got there all the same in time to make a very favorable impression on some of our girls. They are mighty ’fraid of dogs. Candidates are beginning to call on us in broken doses. Mome. FOLSOM. Mrs. B. M. Hays is ill. Hope she will soon recover. We have had several weddings in our little town the past week, and I think there is a good chance for another. Sorry to learn of the illness in Mr. J. I). C ampbell's family. • Folsom is on a boom at this time. Miss Maggie and Mi-. Dave Mosteller are spending awhile with friends at Tan ner's Flat. Sam high utter. AIFAIRSVIULK. The “crow’’ that was in the rooster used in the Ryals school excitement here, was eaten up b.y the defunct commitee. A petition is in circulation, dictated by Mr. Lewis Wilson, and signed by a goodly number, setting forth a desire that in toxicating drinks must not be sold within three miles ol the Oothcaloga Baptist ■church. Some of the officers of the Alliance so ciety, express a dissatisfaction at the small principles used by their members n the introduction of this organization to mercantile circles, through, no doubt, the misrepresentation of its constitution. We notice that our venerable friend Mr. 4no. C. Martin, is a candidate for treas urer of this county. We would like to see his hearty support, as no one would be more vigilant in watching the correct ness of this office, than our neighbor Martin. Air. Jno. Martin, Jr., had the misfor tune to get his ankle broken in Chatta nooga while driving. The vehicle by some mishap turned over and threw him out, falling then on top of him, thus causing this accident, which his many friends regret and hope soon to see him in a Virginia, reel. Mr. Henry M. Yeach and his sister, Miss Annie, are visiting friends in Atlanta. Miss Lillie Wood berry is on a visit to her parents in Augusta. Misses Ella Penn and Minnie Bearden are in Home. The former goes from there to Collinsville, Ala. Rev. Mr. Strickland, of the Central Baptist church of Atlanta, has been called, and has accepted the pastorate of the Baptist church here. The Rome & Decatur railroad has been hung long ago on a sour apple tree here. But, Mr. It. I). C ornbs flanked this project by proposing a dummy line from here to the city of seven hills. Our enterprising citizen is a mogul when he blows his whistle, Aduirsville’s toast—“ The Quick or The Dead”—to the Ryals High school and our beautiful passenger depot. Miss Minnie Bearden gave an enter tainment to her friends the other night, and every one spent a most enjoyable %rening. Three marriages have been witnessed here in but a small space ot time, and the groom’s best man is called upon, so they say, in the next sixth matrimonial event ui the near future. A. M. C. TAYLORSVILLE. We are having good weather now. Prof. J. M. Lawson, who has been electioneering in Bartow for an office in Polk, has quit the field. Professor is too good a man to “dabble” in politics. One of our young merchants is right sharply befuddled. He is desirous of taking in a partner, but we hear the old folks are not willing. A certain widower was sorely troubled when he was told that his girl was to leave soon. He is better now, she deci ded to remain awhile longer. A moneyed syndicate was here last week and purchased the large and fertile tract of land known as the Dickerson place. Veritas. Cassville is always alive to anything that will furnish enjoyment and enter tainment; so in accordance with the characteristic spirit of our people, quite a large number ot young folks, together with a few elder ones, assembled at the residence of Mr. R. B. Smith Friday night for the purpose of a social entertainment in the shape of a spelling bee. After ar ranging the manner in which to conduct it, MissesMonaChunn and Alma Gilreath, two of Cassville’s most charming young ladies, were selected as captains, and proceeded to choose two sides to contest with each other at spelling. It was gen erally understood that the notorious “Sam Sly” was to make himself known on the occasiou and everybody was anxious to see how this was to be brought about, and as there were no previous arrangements touching on this point no one knew in what manner “Samuel” would disclose his idenity. “When two spellers had been called, Miss Alma determined to break the ice, said in a soft, sweet tone, “I’ll take Sam Sly.” For a moment a silence as still as death prevailed, and then, while all eyes were watching with earnest expectancy to see who would respond to that call. Will Walton arose from his chair, slowly walked across the room and took a stand with the class, a mischievous smile playing across his face all the while. At first this was considered as a joke by nearly every body, but finally the reality was realized, and all with one accord expressed themselves as being wonderfully surprised. A complete sur prise it was, and it was highly enjoyed by everyone. Thus the dark veil of ob scurity, which for some time has hidden the writer from public view, was volun tarily lifted, and the interest which has heretofore been attached to the Cassville ‘dots’ will be somewhat diminished. After the little excitement which “Sam mie’s” disclosure occasioned the choos ing was resumed, and soon twenty-four spellers were spelling away at a lively rate. We won’t tell who spelled wrong first. (A youi g lady has intimidated us.) George Holmes is a good speller, and maintained a good record but by a fatal mistake he sat down on molasses— we mean that he spelled that word “molases.” Bob Walton spelled ther mometer “themometer,” and it is said to be an actual fact that that instru ment was insulted to such an extent that the temperature fell fifteen degree s within the next twenty-four hours. It was rather chilly, but not quite cold enough to freeze, so Mr. Smith spelled “freze.” Bob Grilfin thought he would impose on the credulity of the crowd and make them believe that he was very unfamiliar with the evil one and he spelled “saton.” Mr. Chunn claimed that “briar” was correct orthography, but Mrs. Smith, who was giving out the words, said he was mistaken, and she had Webster on her side, and Mr. C. came down after having sustained fin' enviable reputation. Your correspond ent was carrying on a “desoltory” con versation with the girl at his side, so after entertaining hopes of carrying off the honors, and coining so near win ning he took a wrong step and came down with a dull thud. When the first class had finally spelled out another was called with Mr. Chunn and Mr. George Headden as captains. Miss Berta Smith held forth longer than anyone in the first class and Miss Mary Holmes captured the honors of class second. After the spelling was through with the merry crowd entertained them selves in various ways, and so much was i the occasion enjoyed that it was decided * F. W.

White preached here Sun day, and there was a large congregation to hear him. The sermon was an excel lent one throughout. Bro. White’s fare well remarks brought tears to the eyes of his hearers, and many' a heart was sad when he spoke of going to confer ence perhaps never to return to Kings ton circuit again.
